Dreamy French Silk Pie

Ingredients

1 prebaked 9-inch single pie crust

For the filling:

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled (113g)

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (8oz, 227g)

1⅓ cups superfine sugar (10.6oz, 300g)

pinch of salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

4 eggs at room temperature

For topping:

Lightly sweetened whipped cream

Semi-sweet chocolate shavings or curls

Preparation

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and the sugar on medium-high for 5 minutes until pale in color and light and fluffy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl half-way through.

Add the salt, vanilla, coffee granules, and cooled, melted chocolate and beat for another 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Using the whisk attachment, one by one, add the eggs and beat for a full 5 minutes after the addition of each egg, for a total of 20 minutes. Beating the full 20 minutes is essential. Scrape down the sides of the bowl before the addition of each egg.

Pour the filling into the prebaked pie crust and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Before serving, top with lightly sweetened whipped cream and chocolate shavings or curls.

Store the French Silk Pie in the refrigerator.
